Confidence in elections and the acceptance of results - KAF UNEAD (2016)

What makes the contestants in an election accept its outcome? This policy brief of the Kofi Annan Foundation puts forward the notion that confidence is a key factor, and that this is shaped by the broader political context in which elections take place, not just by the quality of the electoral process itself. A comprehensive strategy for promoting the peaceful acceptance of election results should therefore include a broad range of political and technical measures – not limited to electoral assistance – as catalogued in this brief. An annex presents an annotated selection of recent scholarly publications, to highlight connections between policy and academia in this new field of research.
